Cult Icon

Fury Road to me has the best chase scenes ever filmed, just insane and very well made. Recently I re-watched them twice. I noticed that too, the "Nux" actor is now very successful.

I saw that as well- it is just really hard for movies to be successful these days, which has effected the quality. The fact that films appear on streaming so fast makes it worse. Before streaming it could take up to 1 year for a film to appear on DVD or Blu-Ray, so people who were hyped up about films had to see in theater or risk waiting for a year. In the US the movie theater has seen a massive collapse since COVID-19 (it was already declining before that). People don't go the theaters much anymore. Also filmmakers don't have the time and attention that they used to have. Everything has to be produced very quickly which also leads to declines in quality. With action films, the art and industry of practical effects was already declining in the early 2000s and now everything is CGI.

Oh yeah, he was in Rush. I thought he was good there.

I think this film was really meant to be released first, then the action-packed Fury Road. This one has more world building and backstory. I recall that was one of the first aspects/appeal of Fury Road when I saw it- a big WTF is going on with this world and who are these strange characters? Overall with Mad Max films the protagonists/antagonists tend to be silent and imho are meant to be a blank slate for the audience to project onto rather than go into extensive characterization. Anya from what i've seen so far is very silent and acts mainly with her eyes and physical movement. She does a good job here. I still think that Charlize was better though- but few actresses can beat her I've never seen Chris hemworth in anything else but action films like his Thor role. I guess when actors sell out to Marvel they cease appearing in many serious dramatic roles. IMHO in action films like Henry Cavil he is not very interesting as an actor- his perfect physical appearance overwhelms the rest of him. Now that you've seen furiosa then fury road should be enriched somehow imho. I want to rewatch fury road again after i do this one too!

🇬🇧 Rishi Sunak has vowed to bring back National Service for 18-year-olds to create a “renewed sense of pride in our country” in his first major policy announcement of the election campaign. Rishi Sunak: I will bring back National Service (telegraph.co.uk) Ah, yes, getting the shambolic British Army ready for WW3...

Hailey didn't have kids yet so she looks mostly the same (but older, there are early signs of fine lines on her face). She gained a little weight but is in better shape than last time. Sucks that her career didn't take off.

Thanks so much kimmy you are so good at this!
